THQ's new head promises no more job cuts, but 'everything is up for change'
For a guy who's only been on the job for a dozen days, newly appointed THQ president Jason Rubin is awfully comfortable answering very specific questions. He probably should be, given his title, but it was impressive nonetheless that he was able to speak with such specificity to nebulous projects ...
(Not) Left for dead: Turtle Rock still developing FPS for THQ

Joystiq hands-on: Left 4 Dead's versus mode

OPM: EA developing Left 4 Dead for PS3
